Pithy exchange re NPD == Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
JD Candykitty:
Your value to someone with NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) is what use or uses you might be good for...now or later. The N demands your loyalty as a rightful entitlement. Their loyalty to you does not exist, has never existed. Those blindly faithful to the N are often to usually inverted N’s. None of what has gone down here is surprising.
Amaze:
Exactly. Very clearly put :-)
JD Candykitty:
Thank you. I spent over 4 decades of my life doing analysis and, with it, research. Got to observe all kinds of mental illnesses and personality disorders. You learn about narcissists and sociopaths (not the same thing) two ways….in college and in your face. I have been threatened and assaulted by same a few times (but not for many years).
Sociopaths--and Trump certainly is that--are dangerous on many levels. His narcissism gets the headlines. His co-morbid ASPD (Anti-Social Personality Disorder) does not for some reason...even as obvious as it is.
